Timber is found along the various
rivers in Dakota, and in the nelghbOr-
hood OF these streams wood is plenty
and cheap. Further removed from
the streams coal is the principal artl-
Gle Of fuel. North of Bismarck and
Mandan on the Missouri river the
country is underlaid with a Ignite
coal OF excellent quality, which is
now sold for from - so to $3 per ton,
and as soon as facilities are obtained
for transporting this fuel it can be
delivered at "A much less rate, and Will
doubtless form the principal article
for this purpose in South Us well as
North Dakota. transportation is the
principal item of cost. The mines are
So conveniently located and the coal is
50 abundant, that getting u out forms
"a very small portion of the expense.
Farmers in the region named haul
wagon loads of this fuel to town, the
same as wood. The coal is of a soft
variety, excellent for heating pur-
poses. and has a making quality
superior TO almost any coal discovered
on the continent. 1t is believed il can
be delivered in Central and Southern
Dakota when the projected Aberdeen
and Bismarck railroad IS completed
for from s. to $3.50 per ton. Besides
this. it will be but few years until
the older sections Of the territory will
be supplied with timber from the
artificial groves which have been
planted years ago and have now
reached size which makes them yalu-
able for fuel. There are fifty thousand
acres of growing forest trees IN Dako-
I'll, aud these are added TO every year
by the selection of timber claims by
immigrants and otheTs.--altogether
the territory is well supplied with
fuel ST. Paul Pioneer Press.

DR.. Parsons says that in his barn lot

DR.. Parsons says that in his barn lot
and in the corner of his neighbor' 5
garden adjoining there are some tall
thrifty weeds which are covered with
ahinch bugs. and that although close
t. the garden corn the bugs do not
seem inclined to change their feeding
place. The bugs are fat as newly fed
bed bugs and the doctor is allowing the
weeds to grow to see the outcome.
Nav be this weed can be utilized to
entice the little scamps TO forsake
their old haunts. if so the farmers can
plant hedges Of the weed and save
their wheat. The doctor says he will
not patent the idea but viii sell weed
seed to all corners if the bugs leave
any.
